Wanderlust Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I think most of the media and Posh themselves expected to win tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Egg Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Oxford have been great defensively over the 2 legs. They're a far different proposition now than the team we hammered on Sky a while back. I'm just hopeful that they have less firepower than Posh and will cause our creaky defence less problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I think they’re less open than Posh and will be a lot harder to break down than last time. Play our natural game, be patient, and we should beat them.

Site Supporter desperado Posted May 8 Site Supporter Share Posted May 8 There were some intimating that Ferguson was taking a well calculated gamble and that Evatt should have followed suit, choosing not to play your strongest side in the run in. Well, well done Ferguson you changed your side against Cheltenham, lost all your momentum and didn’t win any of your last 4 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didledee Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Not gonna tempt fate or under value a finalist but it's likely going to be a final very similar to tonight in terms of Oxford having to defend for large periods and they defended really well but still Peterborough had enough chances to win comfortably (in between Oxford players going down all time) Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, well done Ferguson you changed your side against Cheltenham, lost all your momentum and didn’t win any of your last 4 games. This is a great point. I'm all for rotation of 2/3 players per game to keep things fresh and give the squad opportunities, but wholesale changes when they could have technically gone up was nuts. Felt like they were sacrificing a win that game against Cheltenham and serves them right getting knocked out by a more committed team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can break your rhythm and backfire on you and seems to be the outcome more often than not. Not in favour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be there in spirit though. I would have much preferred automatic! When I make the trip to Wembley, we always seem to lose. Might be better if I watch it from afar!

RUREADY2ROLL Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Just glad it’s Oxford; we were far better than them in both games we have played them. Posh would have been a lot more difficult and I fancy us now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, well done Ferguson you changed your side against Cheltenham, lost all your momentum and didn’t win any of your last 4 games. I reckon Ferguson put out a weakened team against Cheltenham because he thought there was more chance they would play Barnsley in the semis, who were bang out of form at the time. Well that backfired, you walrus faced fucker. Edited May 8 by Burndens Bogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was moaning about not getting a penalty for the ball hitting an Oxford player in the face, bemoaning a  lack of luck and generally tripping folk up with his bottom lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
